WILLIAM F. LAUTENSCHLAGER, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE PEERLESS MACHINERY COMPANY, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MAS- SACHUSETTS.

To all whom it'ma'y concern;- I

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. LAUTEN: semen); a citizen of the United States, residing at 'cinnati, in the county of Hamil ton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cement- Applying 'Machines, of which the following is as ecification. ii; is the object of my invention to provide he -'or improved cement a plying machine espezimly adapted for app ying cement to the'ed'ges of materials, an so arrangedthat cement of a' given width may be accurately applied along straight or'curved edges, and is especially. useful for' applying cement along the edges of shoe parts, such as vam s, upthe invention will e furin which latter: I 'gure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved device. Fig. 2 1s afront elevation ofthe same, partly broken away. Fig. 3 is a detail in cross section artly in elevation taken'on 'the irregular e :va: of Fig. 2. Fig4is a plan detail iglrtly in section on the Fig. 1. 'g. 5 is a plan detail part1 in section showing manner of mountmg t e cement-applying head; and, Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a modification of the combined cement and stockide.

"1 represents the frame, which is preferably of goose-neck construction, having an overhanging'bracket 2 for forming an intermediate space 3 especially useful for accommodating the rear ends of goods, such as vamps, when applying cement to the curved edges thereof. l g d d d 4-is an -a yin ro a apte to con uct the'cement iib th goods. It is preferably provided with ooves dia onally arranged and crossing eac other in the form of knurl- 5' is' an applying head supported by the overhanging-arm preferably b providing the latter at its forward end wit a split ring 6'throu hwhich a'shank-7 of'said head takes,

a shoul er 8 on thehead t vagainst the ring for definitely positioning t e same, and

having shank 7 secured m said ring by com'- ression exerted through a screw 9. This shank is hollow as shown at 10. A cement r'eser'vo'ir-ll-is secured to the shank, as by' the samethereomand has'a' cover 12 for osing the same, the hollow 10 of said Specification 01' Letters Patent.

shank forming a passage from said reservoir, the passage continuing for'communicating with the eriphery of t e The ro 4 is journaled in t e ead as b havin hangers 13 13 secured to the hea the rol being journaled on studs 14'having bearings 15 insaid hangers. The head has a mouthie whose ].i s 17 17 are ad'acent to the roll. A cham er 18 is in the ead, extends longitudinally of the roll and has a piston 19 therein which forms a movable wall or cheek arranged to be moved longitudjnally of the roll in the chamber for determining the width to'which the cement is to be applied lengthwise of the periphery of the roll, the cement-application taking p ace between said movable wall or cheek and the stationary wallor cheek 20, said cheeks having their roll-edges curved to correspond with the eriphe of the applying roll, and the mova le chee having sliding fit in said appl -roll.

chamber for confining the cement to one side 1 screw 28, there being a bend'29 between said rod and its extension. The connection between the piston or movable wall and stockguide may also be had by forming said stock-1 guide of a separate rod 25 and providing the respective rods with lugs 30 31, a screw 32 taking through a slot 33 in one of the lugs and screwing into the other of said lugs for permitting relative adustment between the same, as see the mo ification shown in Fig. 6. A relative adjustment may also be iven between iston' 19 and the stock-guide by securing t e piston along the rod in desirable positions by means of a set-screw 34.

It is desirable that the cement shall be applied to the roll for onl I t e width to which it is to e applied to the goods, the cementbeing usual}? ap lied adacent the edges of the goo s. n order therefore to go. e the width of application of the cement'and the edge of the goods with relation to the machine, I' refer to connect the piston or movable wall or regulatin the width of application of the cement wit the approximately rolls, 't

stockide. Thus, when the button 23 is pushe or pulled in either direction, the piston and the stock-guide are simultaneously movedfor instantly setting the machine for the desired width of ap lication of the cement and the guiding of t e goods with relation thereto. The oods, traveling against the guide, are liab e to wear the latter, and consequent variations between it and the piston may be compensated for by the adjustments mentioned.

35 is a supporting roll which may be drive in suitable manner. I have shown it mounted on a shaft 36 journaled in bearings 37 38 on a rocker-frame 39 and provided with a pulley 40. For convenience in taking ofi the roll or substituting other rolls for it, I provide the shaft 36 with a reduced shank 41 having a shoulder 42 against which the supporting roll is-held by a screw 43.

The rocker-frame or arm has a stud 44 having journal fit in a bearing 45 on the frame, thereby formin a pivot for the rocker-arm which I pre er to make closely adjacent to the pulley 40 for permitting relatively greater rocking motion at theroll than at the pulley and thereby preventing differences in strain on the belt operating the pulley. It is desired that when no goods are passing between the supporting and applying e su porting rol shall not touch the applying ro in order to prevent the applicatlon of cement thereto, and also that the supportin -roll shall be capable of adjustment for iflerent thicknesses of oods, and shall yield to compensate for di 'erences in thickness of the same lot of goods. For accomplishing these ur oses, I provide the frame with a threa ed ug 47 through which a screw 48 takes against a lug 49 on the rocker-arm acting as an adjustable stop therefor, a set-nut 50 securing the screw in adjusted osition, the screw regulating the normal distance between the rolls. A spring 51 is received in a pocket 52 in the frame, .and takes against the rocker-arm for urging the supporting roll toward the applying roll. I or overcoming sidewise straln upon the rocker-arm, I provide a guidelate 53 having a slot 54 between the wa s'of which the rocker-arm is steadied. The su porting-rollis provided with annular mares 55, as indentations, forming a gage on the peri hery of the supporting roll by which the stoc r-gulde may be adjusted, thereby also simultaneously adjusting the iston 1n the cement chamber of the applying-roll to equal extent. In thepresent exemplification Ihave shown graduations of an eighth of an inch.

The stock-guide is narrow and is closely adjacent to but one side of the vertical plane of the rotary axes of the rolls so that the point of cement-application may be closely adjacent the guide against which the curved edges, for instance, of the goods are guided, thereby preventing variation in width of cement application.

The machine may be readily secured to any suitable stand or table by means of a screw taking through the latter and into a threaded aperture 56 in the base, and the parts are so constructed and arranged that vei rapid operation may be maintained.

aving thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
